Sen. Curt Bramble, R-Provo, says there hasn't been enough time to study some 50 to 60 bills filed this session dealing with tweaking the Utah tax code.

So he is proposing a task force that would analyze the ideas and report back before the 2006 Legislature.

"We didn't have time in this session to tee anything up," Bramble said.

His Senate Bill 153 would create a 13-member panel that would look at the various tax proposals and report back to the Revenue and Taxation Committee each month until next year's general session. Members of the House and Senate and representatives from Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr.'s office would sit on the task force.

Huntsman, who campaigned on tax reform, is backing Bramble's bill, the senator said. SB153 would allocate about $100,000 to the task force for its costs.
